Jake...
Bella sent this to me, but I guess she meant to send it to you.
Another reason I never use my email address book.  She thinks
we're storybook.  I think I agree.  I love you a lot.

Love...
Hamilton

p.s. When you call me and I get to hear your voice, you have
this way of making all my insecurities about being apart go
away so...keep calling...lots...okay?


Jake.
I'm glad you're having so much fun in England.  Have enough 
for the both of us! So, a party with Ryder, huh?  While it
would normally seem strange to me, I'm sure you you have
your reasons.  Besides, I always got the feeling there was
more to him than meets the eye and maybe you finally figured
out what that something is.  I'm also glad to hear that you 
feel so committed to Hamilton.  He's really a nice guy and
what you two have is like...storybook, you know?  I did 
actually finish that poem and thought I might take a minute
to type it up.  I also thought, since I was typing it up,
I'd send it your way and see what you thought.  You know,
since you've seen part of it already anyway.  Other than
that, I'm still pumping gas, tuning up engines and listening
to Grace tell me the right amount of tongue to use to get
the perfect kiss.  She's charming, isn't she?  Guess I 
better run.  Good to hear from you!

Bella.

p.s. Here is the poem:

No teacher to follow
no prophet to tell me how
But I know what I want
I know what I want now
Like water, it rushes
it's the last thing I see 
when I close my eyes
it's the one place I want to be
but if it doesn't brush my shoulder
and it doesn't beat my heart
then it's not what I want
and it's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody 
so that he would break my heart
that's not what I wanted

If you don't know what you're missing
cause you don't know where to start
please follow your wishing heart

I was restless
I am restless
I just wanted this to be good
I just want this to be good
- but you don't understand
you don't understand me
and I want to be understood

But if it doesn't brush my shoulder
and it doesn't beat my heart
then it's not what I want 
no, that's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody 
so that he would break my heart
that just isn't what I wanted
when I kissed you from the start

If we leap before we crawl
what happens is we fall
and it's not always meant to be
and that's not always up to me

But if it doesn't brush my shoulder
and it doesn't beat my heart
then it's not what I want 
no, that's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody 
so that he would break my heart
that just isn't what I wanted
when I kissed you from the start

If you don't know what your missing
cause you don't know where to start
just follow your wishing heart
and you don't know what you're missing
and you don't know where to start
so follow your wishing heart. 

That's it...kind of dumb, huh?

 a few of the lyrics altered slightly to make it work for
 us.  The song is called Wishing Heart and sounds great.]
